Author has written 23 stories for Romance, Love, Family, and Historical.

Can anyone help me find cover art for my stories? I would be eternally grateful for some fitting artwork, especially for Prisoner of War, Incomparable, or After the Dawn.

I am...what am I?

I am a person who has many, many ideas. I have so many worlds trapped in my head; I have to let them out somehow.

One thing about me is that I'm not a big fan of humans. I realize that I am one, but fiction is fiction for a reason. Human lifespans are so short. By the time they actually meet the love of their life, overcome all possible drama and reach a happily ever after, they've only got a few decades left to spend with their chosen mate. I much prefer to think of my characters as living for centuries in blissful happiness. This is the reason that most of my characters are either immortal, vampire, demon, or shifter. I take Happily Ever After literally.

I also like more on the edge or taboo themes. I believe that there are many kinds of love in this world and that sometimes, just because people say it's wrong, doesn't necessarily mean that it is.

Great news! My best friend, forgottenmuse08, has joined us here at fictionpress. Her profile can be found here: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/902588/. If you enjoy my work, you'll probably like hers as well. She is the person with whom I worked on the original story that Prisoner of War is based on. Her first story up now, Might Have Been, is also written about two of our shared characters.

A brief breakdown:

Demon: created by the Goddess Lucianna at the beginning of time. Demons are long-lived with a lifespan of approximately two-thousand years. They are gifted with heightened senses and occassionally have special talents, such as telepathy. They can be killed, but not easily; they can sustain a great deal more damage than a human without a fatality. Although they must eat normal food as humans do, they must drink blood from members of their own species to survive, though infrequently (anywhere from every few months to up to six months, depending on the strength of the blood). They are completely unaffected by sunlight; that was a complete myth until vampires evolved from them. They are born virtually human without the need for blood or heightened senses, although special talents have been known to present themselves at any time. The transition can occur any time between the ages of fourteen and twenty-two; generally, the more pureblood a demon is, the earlier they will transition. During the transition, a demon drinks blood for the first time and generally goes through puberty, although at a highly excellerated rate. It lasts only a few hours, but males have been known to grow over a foot taller. Transition is frequently followed by sexual intercourse; previous to the transition, demons are incapable of feeling sexual lust. When a demon is approximately five hundred, they are able to dematerialize, that is move from one place to the other with only a thought.

Immortal: an ordinary person who has just enough demon DNA in them to make them immortal but not enough so that they will transition and become a demon. Immortals generally have no special abilities or enhanced senses, though they do heal somewhat faster than the standard human. Immortals were created through the crossbreeding of demons and humans. When an immortal will crop up in a bloodline is entirely unpredictable. Two normal humans can have an immortal child; somewhere in one of their histories was a demon or immortal ancestor. Two normal humans can also have a demon child, as that can also randomly pop up. Those offspring are more likely to die at their transition, however, because they will not know to feed.

Vampire: immortal species that evolved from the crossbreeding of talented demons and humans. They have hightened senses and special abilities. They heal at an accelerated rate and those with healing abilities can heal themselves and others near instantaneously. They have no transition, but they do not begin to drink blood until their later teens. They also acquire the ability to dematerialize much sooner; around the age of twenty-five.

Shifter: long-lived species that can shift into a specific animal. There are many different types, from canine to feline to bird (there's a word for that, but I'm too lazy to google it). There is one race of shifter, known as the Shihftu, or "pure shifter", who can shift into any animal or any person. One-animal shifters are believed to have evolved from them. While shifters have something very similar to the draw felt by demons, Shihftu feel the Instinct, which is a more subtle but no less insistent pull towards there mate, though it presents itself initally as more of a bone-deep knowledge that this person is their mate.

My first story, The Vampire Prince, is set somewhere in the century 800 AD. I apologize for any discrepancies in representation of the time; my current research resources are limited. I welcome any advice on the matter. However, certain aspects of vampire culture were not intended to follow that of the time period, specifically attitudes towards women and relationships. Vampire society has always deviated from human society, although human's have somewhat caught up in modern times.

A quick overview of vampire abilities:

Innate abilities are broken into three categories: Mental, Physical, and Elemental.

Mental:

Telepathy: the ability to read the thoughts of others at a distance as well as delve into their minds to examine their memories. As with all abilities, skill levels differ. More skilled vampires with this ability can go so far as to alter memories or communicate with someone over a great distance.

Telekinesis: the ability to move objects or even people with only the mind.

Coercion: the ability to control a person's physical movements or even bodily functions with only the mind. This ability is very similar to that of hypnotism, however, they differ in one important way: a person under the influence of coercion will still have all mental faculties and understand everything they are doing, although they are unable to stop it. A person under hypnosis is completely unaware of what they are doing or saying.

Hypnosis: the ability to control a person's thoughts in order to make them do something. Only the very skilled can use this ability to control bodily functions (such as stopping the heartbeat or inducing orgasm).

Physical:

Heal: the ability to heal virtually any kind of wound. Though the reach of this ability is extensive, it takes someone of great skill to hone it properly. Even someone very skilled cannot heal everything.

Neutral: the ability to either heal or cause injury to a person. No matter how skilled, this ability cannot be used to heal major injuries or cause them (ie compound fractures, gaping wounds).

Harm: the ability to cause severe injury to a person. This ability can be used to break bones, rip open skin, or make organs explode at a mere thought. It is the most lethal ability that any vampire can possess.

Elemental:

Fire: the ability to control and create fire.

Water: the ability to control and create water.

Air: the ability to control and create air.

Earth: the ability to control all parts of the earth, such as soil, rocks, and plants.

Weather: the ability to control the weather. This is the weakest ability, as it can actually do very little as a means of defense or offense. However, it can protect vampires from the sun, to which they are very sensitive. Because vampires are perfectly safe under cloud cover, a vampire with this ability can summon up clouds whenever they wish to go out; it is through this ability that vampires are able to avoid a primarily nocturnal lifestyle. There are rumors that vampires who are especially talented in this ability can focus the effects of a storm onto one person or area and therefore use it as a defensive or offensive ability. These rumors have never been verified.

I have a lot of other things bouncing around in my head, so I apologize if my updating is sporadic. If you want me to update faster, give me some reviews! I heart reviews.
